In Imola, a town in northern Italy, ceramics is the primary craft. The traditional products from the local factory vary from tiles to the usual kitchen tools: plates, cups, bowls and jags. The “Giallo Fiore” (Flower Yellow), a pattern from the 20th century, is the most popular decorative motif and has become an icon in the local tradition.

During Residenzamuseo 01, a self-initiated residency programme in Imola, I made contact with one of the ceramic artists employed at the factory. Eventually, we started a conversation that brought us to collaborate on this project, where the old technique, risking extinction, was slowly applied to the disposable packaging of famous fast food company.
